Valle Dorado Tours

A fun and exciting tour in Rincón de la Vieja is the Rio Negro Tubing Adventure. We’ll head out from Hotel Hacienda Guachipelín by horseback on our trusty Costa Rican ranch horses (or you can also go by vehicle transport). After a 45-minute ride through the forest, we arrive at changing rooms where we’ll get ready for our river tubing adventure.

Horseback riding is a fun activity to enjoy nature and views while on a journey. Horseback riding is easy, so if you haven’t done it yet, Costa Rica may be your perfect opportunity. Enjoy riding along pristine beaches, forest trails, country roads, in the cloud forest, in the rain forest, and more. There are horseback riding tours almost everywhere in Costa Rica.

Hacienda Guachipelín Hotel, positioned at the foot of the Rincón de la Vieja Volcano in Guanacaste, Costa Rica, is a true ecotourism lodge for adventure and nature lovers. In addition to being an eco-hotel, Hacienda Guachipelín is an actual working horse and cattle ranch, celebrating the Guanacaste region’s cowboy heritage in the heart of the savanna.

The Rincon de la Vieja National Park is located in the northwest of Costa Rica. The volcano is the largest one in the country's northwest and it contains over 8 eruptive vents located within a 15-kilometer-wide caldera.

Tourists visit the area for the hot springs, spectacular views, great biodiversity and more. At Rincon de la Vieja National Park you can see Yellowstone-like geothermal sites.
